The Rebuilding of Double Pump Hydraulics

My name is Joseph Collins. I am the owner of Double Pump Hydraulics based out of Altadena, California. Due to the recent Eaton Canyon Fire that took place on January 7, 2025, I have to temporarily suspend my business due to damages caused by the fire. Some structural damage, equipment damage, and loss of utility services have forced me to temporarily close. This fire has not only affected the physical space where I poured my passion and hard work, but it has also severely impacted my livelihood and the source of income that supported my family.

This business wasn’t just a job to me—it was my dream. Every day, I put my heart into creating a space where I could serve my community, share my passion, and provide for those I love. The fire has taken that away from me, and I’m now struggling to rebuild not only my business but also my hope for the future.

I’m asking for your help in this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will go towards repairing the damage, replacing essential equipment, and covering the costs of getting back on my feet. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a world of difference as I work to rebuild what I’ve lost.

If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Your support means everything to me, and I’m beyond grateful for any help you can offer.

Thank you for being a part of my journey and for standing by me in my time of need. With your support, I believe I can rebuild and come back stronger than ever.

With heartfelt gratitude, Double Pump Hydraulics
